Central BJP Government is now well into third consecutive term firmly saddled after spectacular victory in Bengal and Assam. Incumbency factor has now been reduced to a myth gasping for survival, namesake Opposition confronting existential crisis, hegemony of the White House and CIA seriously jeopardized, ‘White Mans Burden’ in gloom and the Deep State doomed. When fourth largest economy of Bharata is banging at the door of third largest economy to exit to make way and G-7 regalia too embarrassed to push Prime Minister Modi in second row for the Photoshoot session, LOO should be asking, ‘What more do you want ?’, albeit the Wretched didn’t. When a possible complacence of serial victories exits to make way for assiduity of preparing for next victory after every victory, one has to sit up to take a hard look at all those verticals of the largest political Party in the world to understand what makes you invincible in the most populous democracy in the world, for how long and cracks hidden within being hotly chased by the Opposition every moment of their fragile existence, often successfully.
COMMITMENT TO THE NATION
That’s indeed 24-Carat pure gold which no other political pack of corrupt self-seekers and traitors can match. Heartwarming feature is that voters have perceived it too well and also convinced, namesake Opposition can never be their well-wishers. That’s the prime factor to explain thunderous victory in Bengal.
VISION
There too, BJP have been unbeatable. Very early they understood, nation cannot be transformed merely on the basis of ideology howsoever solid or foundational. Nor merely on the basis of performance as likelihood of going astray is enormous. So the dawn of a deadly combination of deep-rooted ideology coupled with visibly corruption-free performance drew battle-lines which no other party have been able to cross over.
UNDERSTAND NATIONS PSYCHE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD
Thanks to the institution of Pracharaks raised so labouriously by the parent organisation of RSS, BJP brass know complete anatomy, physiology, pathology, psychology and even anthropology of Bharatiya voters. Customised schemes and statements go a long way in winning votes. BJP practised this Chanakya-strategy in reverse gear too when steadfastly refused to trash TMC Government in Bengal, allowed self-centred Bengali Hindus to suffer enough to desperately aspire for BJP rule in the State. And when BJP succeeded, US President Trump was impelled to congratulate PM Modi, first such milestone in history.
ANATHEMA OF WESTERN-ELITE ENDORSEMENT
Right from the herald ‘Go’, BJP never sought endorsement from western-Whites or elite-anglicised dumbs of Khan Market for any of their policies and decisions. Whenever a western entity admired BJP for any reason whatsoever, they flaunted it as a slap on the face of Opposition who suffer from intense Inferiority Complex being always hungry of western endorsement or intervention. And BJP brass affirmed it loudly by taking over Sin-joints like Gymkhana Club and Jaipur Polo Ground, relics of slavery and treachery. In fact, every invective inflicted at BJP by the Brown-anglicised Deshi-version of Anglo-Saxon race has been gladly accepted by them as yet another pebble on the Express Highway to glory.
COMPLACENT COMFORT BEING A TABOO
Complacence blended with sense for comfort is a taboo for the top leadership. Impatience for results, date of commissioning/inauguration just now, passion for pace etc. are hallmarks of their working style. First infrastructure project to be announced after installation of the government in 2014 had been Bullet Train between Karnavati and Mumbai. Quite uncannily bullet speed of the Work-In-Progress Bullet Train has penetrated every aspect of their governance. Quite a few IAS Babus could not adjust themselves in new environs of being questioned for performance before dawn on their mobiles, grave risks associated with playing golf with buddies, severely declining opportunities of personal gratification, every foreign travel to be justified etc., compelled them to seek VRS. When Babus are on their toes day and night, governance is on the right track.
NO ELECTION FOR GRANTED
For every election BJP start working from Ground Zero irrespective of any number of defeats or victories, whether immediate previous election was won or lost. Every defeat is converted into a ‘Masterstroke’ so much so that the Party may well be declared ‘Bharatiya Masterstroke Party’ by Politico-wags. Mount Radhanath Sikdar (Mt. Everest is a dirty colonial name) must be flagged every time with no compromise in number of rallies, interviews, Pad-yatras etc. mostly in inclement weather. Nation witnessed that when Union Home Minister Amit Shah began working for next elections in the Constitutional pipeline immediately after attending swearing in ceremony in Kolkata after the White House shaking election victory in Bengal. BJP is an Election-winning party that rose from the level of just two seats in Lok Sabha that forced AB Vajpayee to watch ‘Pir Subah Hogi’ after a few pegs more than his normal quota, accompanied by LK Advani.
MOST POWERFUL NARRATIVE IN WORLDS POLITICAL HISTORY
Yes, that’s no exaggeration, no adulation. World politics had never seen before such a powerful narrative of complete silence coupled with solid performance. PM Modi breaks silence only during election rallies or in reply to Motion Of Thanks to President in Parliament. Even the so-called scandalous character assassination by a JNU brand lady journalist running a shit-tabloid failed to elicit any response from him what to speak of defamation suit in courts. Down the hierarchy, all spokespersons too follow the same model albeit to a lesser extent. Only after two terms people could understand why he had always been averse to being loquacious or reciprocative to public invectives or why he declined to appoint a media advisor at all. Welfare schemes of Swaccha Bharata, Ujjavala etc. benefited millions writing unbeatable narratives to reckon with.
LESSER TOLERANCE TO CORRUPTION AND IMMORALITY
BJP are not scam-maniacs or scandal-gems like Congress or TMC/SP. When corruption is detected, action certainly follows whether covertly or overtly. Though 100% integrity in politics is a very tall order, Union Cabinet headed by PM Modi can credibly claim so. Certainly BJP are yet to demolish the deeply engraved notion that politics without corruption is a romantic dream. However track-record of BJP in this regard is admirable. Same is the case with immorality too. So long as you don’t have a CD or your CD is not exposed into public domain, you are a spotless character in BJP. Exposure will certainly lead to irreversible ouster from corridors of influence and power, both or whichever applicable.
AND WHAT NOT TO LEARN FROM BJP
SYCOPHANCY
It’s a legacy issue, appears to be as ancient as Hinduism. Those who have witnessed how courtiers flatten themselves supine before their ex-Rajas/Maharajas without Privy-Purses even now, will understand antediluvian nature of the malaise instantly. ‘Charan-Pujaniya’, ‘Param-Adarniya’, ‘Ati-Mananiya’, ‘Yashasvi’, ‘Tejasvi’, ‘Param-Pujya’ etc. are epithets liberally chanted by party members even for their immediate seniors, migh well embarrass even Param Brhama too. Politicans in Bharata of all hues just cannot believe, Dr. Henry Kissinger had bluntly told President Richard Nixon to quit the White House when Watergate Scandal climaxed in USA.
HIGH-COMMAND SYNDROME
Originally a Congress microbe, it has infected BJP too. High-Command selects any Lilyputian to become Chief Minister of even large states wherein responsibilities are enormous. Critical positions for those who do not deserve it at all, is all too common. However this malaise is prevalent in all political parties. Earlier slogan of ‘Party with a difference’ has been relegated into backwaters of the ideology that used to be identified with them once upon a time.
VISIBILITY
That’s a cardinal requirement to rise or even survive in BJP. Must you be smiling in digital media presenting bouquet to BJP functionaries wishing them on their Punarjanma-Days, anniversaries etc. lest you are lost in the crowd of bygones. There used to be competition among all to receive PM Modi on his every return from foreign tour. To remain visible, once even Sushma Swaraj as Minister Of External Affairs went to airport to receive the Prime Minister. If other merits go for a toss, so be that but you must be omnipresent within their visible range. Flunkies are advised to be available in vicinity of BJP HQ or ministerial residences with or without any purpose smiling liberally and doing Naman to all and sundry.
GROUPISM
Believe it or not, it is encouraged by all, even seniors. ‘How many will you bring to the meeting/gathering’ I used to be often asked. One senior advised me to raise my own group to be heard and counted when I was not allowed to do anything even after being appointed Co-convener (Intellectual Cell) of Delhi BJP for two terms under Presidentship of Vijayendra Gupta (now Delhi Assembly Speaker) and Manoj Tiwari. Convener Amit Khadkhadi jolly well celebrated his Punarjanma-Days, Parinaya-Days in Delhi BJP HQ meandering his way to become Councillor while Prabhari OP Sharma acted as a mute spectator with folded hands. None of the existing Group-heads ever approachad me to join their group as I had been a suspect in their eyes due to my forthright writings. Instead, they all were intensely curious to know who happens to be my ‘Godfather’ in the Party !! Entry barriers at every level of seniority are too many and too perspiring even for an Olympian athlete. Groupism alone is mainly responsible for 240 LS seats on Lok Sabha-2024 elections. So ‘Gut-baazi’ is a curse in the Party least expected from those rising from cadres of RSS prophesizing national unity even to the extent of ‘Bhaichara-Kutumbakam’.
WORSHIPPING FALSE GODS
Billions of gallons of water has flown down Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati yet BJP have been toeing the same old line of deifying traitors, British stooges, accidental Hindu-s and looters of the nation delineated by Congress (AO Hume). If Congress awarded highest title to a missionary-child trafficker, BJP conferred Padma titles on a history-sheeter, self-confessed gangster and a downright corrupt leader convicted by the Supreme Court. BJP have been expected to draw a newer line of thinking across the nation based on harsh realities of history. Alas ! that was not to be. Ginormous disappointment emanated from the parent organisation too based on an ideology who do not have to seek votes at all to contest elections. Grand opportunity to liberate enslaved and enveloped Hindu-Buddhi has been frittered away for the pittance of power. That’s exceedingly unfortunate indeed for the nation.
RESERVATION-CASTEISM
Contrary to all expectations, BJP turned out to be much more casteist than Congress. Not a single nook or corner of governance has been left untouched with casteism of reservation, another perverse form of freebie. They do perceive corrosively damaging consequences of reservation-casteism yet refuse to acknowledge it publicly. Instead of resorting to the approach of educating masses on ills of reservation-casteism and the policy of progressively curtailing reservations say by 5% every year, they have gone on a reservation spree wholehog. Nation may have to languish in the menace of reservation-casteism for decades or centuries to come in the form of Brain-drain etc. Demand of reservation in private sector is a powerful recipe to ensure flight of capital and destruction of industries. Quite amazingly, even RSS do not speak about it though they do not have to seek votes to contest elections. Instead RSS want reservation beneficiaries to demand abolition of reservations, an absurdity of unmitigated dimensions.
LOBBYING
BJP are as much susceptible to lobbies as Congress had been when in power as it is integrated into ‘Basic features’ of the ‘human Constitution’. Neither vile nor virtuous, it leads to inappropriate actions/decisions or even appointments too occasionally. There had been a lobbying galore in BJP leading to diehard leftists turning saffronites and grabbing powerful positions in educational institutions, Government departments etc. If there is rate-card of love-Jehad for Hindu girls, there is rate-card for the position of Vice Chancellors starting at Rs. 5 crores. Lobbying in defence sector for procurement and promotions is too widely known by the Chandigarh Lobby. Suffixing a fullstop at lobbying will be an excellent milestone for them only if attained.
DYNASTICISM
On this front BJP have been smarter than Congress by several notches by offering ‘Calibrated dynasticism’ as they have refined the Machiavellian tactic to the last climax. ‘One Person Per Family’ in politics is a magnificent concept that is likely to behold Defence Minister entering into Rashtrapati Bhavan as President to make way for his ‘talented’ dear son in active politics as conjectured by a prominent journalist Pradip Singh on YouTube. Dime a dozen examples are available from corridors of recent history of the nation. ‘Zero Tolerance’ to dynasticism can be practised only by supremely conscientious politicians like Yogiji, UP CM and none else.
Let us continue supporting BJP so long as there is no better political alternative to herald next higher pedestal of ideological moorings implemented sincerely coupled with a pragmatic development agenda.
